After finding the perfect underwear, I had an excuse to try on my gown again. Not that there's ever not a good excuse... but my gown had just been hanging out for the past 10 months hidden away in my closet. I had not tried it since I first got it. Mr. Canary was also out for an all-night concert so there would be no chance that he'd happen upon me in the gown.
I was nervous because I was worried about having buyer's remorse, but when I finally got it on (it is not easy pulling on a corseted gown by yourself!) I felt like a bride and fell in love with it all over again. I marveled at the perfect shade of ivory and the sash color (which I was also subconsciously worried that I would hate). With just a little over two months to go until the wedding, I felt the excitement start to really bubble while I was in the gown.
Also, I got to think about some logistics about getting in and out of the dress. The back is corseted and thus there is no zipper for easy in-and-out access, so when I change into my qipao, one of my bridesmaids will have to just undo the entire corset instead of just loosening it up. I just hope it won't become a Carrie and Miranda wedding gown incident! Mama Canary thought it was pretty hilarious that I could get into the dress by myself but not out of it!
How many times have you tried on your wedding gown? Do you love it more every time?
